Loving Mom 161

Chapter 161

“This is the perfect out for you right now,” Nate said coolly. “Take it while you still can. This talent showcase is being recorded, you know. Once it’s online, there’s no taking it back. You really want your most embarrassing moment living on the internet forever? Be the punchline to everyone’s jokes? Honestly, you should be thanking Kelly. If not for her, you’d be the laughingstock of the whole show.”

Wendy stared at him, stunned at how shameless he was. “So by your logic, Kelly dumping coffee all over Sharon was the right thing to do? We should be grateful to her for it?”

Nate didn’t flinch. “If you want to thank her, we won’t stop you. But don’t go blaming Kelly later just because you can’t pull it together onstage. We’re not taking the fall for that.”

Kelly tugged lightly at Nate’s sleeve, her voice soft. “Nate, let it go. I didn’t mean to, but… it was my fault.” 1

“You’re too kind, Kelly,” Nate said coldly, shooting a look at Sharon. “That’s exactly why people think they can walk all over you. Sharon, that’s enough. Kelly already apologized. Don’t drag this out. If your little drama ends up messing with Kelly or Theo’s performance, I won’t forgive you.”

Wendy looked like she’d just been hit with a frying pan. “Sharon… do they always do this? Twist the truth and actually convince themselves it’s real?”

Sharon nodded, completely unfazed. Clearly, this was nothing new to her.
